JekyllPicContainer

A simple wrapper around Jekyll Picture Tag to standardize my usage across the different blogs that I manage. This gem is unlikely to be useful to anyone else.

The key benefits is that it adds some markup for easier formatting, will translate an alt argument into a caption, and provides a standardized way of sharing attribution to 3rd party CC images.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add jekyll_pic_container

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install jekyll_pic_container

This tag supports three arguments, alt, attr_source, and attr_text.

Example:

{% pic_container thumb  --alt Alt Text --attr_source http://picture_site/picture_image.jpg --attr_text Original Author %}

This will render a caption with 'Alt Text' and a link to the picture image.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
